@Ashfame… very smart solution… really thanks :p
Thanks,
Would it be best to do the deep integration option or just copy the wordpress theme files over to the bb-press theme and have it load seperate?
So essentially you would just be styling the bbpress theme the same to match the wordpress theme?
I have read that by doing the deep integration you will have ‘double loads’ on all pages which would result in slowing down the site?
What do you think?
I had a read over your guide earlier on and i got a little lost when i reached here >
Replace bb_get_header(); ?> by get_header(); ?> <div id=”content class=”narrowcolumn” role=”main”> in all files.
Similarly replace <?php bb_get_footer(); by </div><?php get_sidebar(); get_footer(); in all files.

Thanks for the reply, i have installed bbpress successfully now, but i cant seem to get the forums to match with my theme >
http://www.myweddingreviews.co.uk
http://www.myweddingreviews.co.uk/forum
I want the forum to be embedded inside of my site, not a different skin if you follow?
Finding it hard to figure out how to do this, i thought it would have been alot easier.
Any ideas mate?

Like if you have forums in a folder named ‘forums’, then create a page with the slug as ‘forums’.

Hello I am from Lithuania Country, Europe, I like bbpress its simple and safe forum cms, I wanna create in Lithuania bbpress support I translate this forum, create a website bbpress.lt, can i get your permision?
Thank you
updated the demo, you’ll see a few widgets in the sidebar (ticket already open…)
I only see akismet as being a core plugin out of that list myself.
I know I’ll be writing a few plugins for it myself once it gets to that stage.
I think JJJ has said that other method of integration may be possible, but by going the theme route it does allow for better templating of the forum.
@ kevinjohngallagher and @ the rest of the bbpress staff.
I landed on bbpress searching for a nice forum, and i’ve found it because I do use wordpress.
Well, as any other person, I’m impressed by the apperiance and because I found it really attractive, I decide to download and mess myself up to install it and get it working (not much hard to be true).
When at the end I find that the look and mainly the page setup is totally different… you should understand @TheNet (who started this topic).
Anyway, I think that bbPress staff, should at least release such kind of three columns layout for the main page.
This for the simple reason that there is a number of new bbpress users that would start using this forum because they like as they see it and also because it is more logic and readable such kind of layout.
The same % of people, and I suppose they are not the minimum part, is choosing wordpress and would choose bbpress, because they are simple and effective without being an html-css-php-GURU
This may potentially lead to have them to try bbPress out, see that this kind ot theme layout is missing, see that is not easy to find bbPress themes out there and f**k-bbPress-off 
.
Not realy a good idea in terms of bbPress spreading.
Hope bbPress staff will think about this.

@Ashfame… Please request to wpwebhost to remove stupid social icons or change their style or placement. I can’t read your post because of this shit. See it here
I don’t know why people don’t understand how to adjust graphics in various screen resolutions.
Hope you’ll never mind.

I currently have several sites running standalone bbpress.org with deep integration. How would I convert over when this new plugin is developed?
I would echo ricardouk views that It would make sense to just display the forum on a wordpress page to avoid the hassle of fiddling with different themes.
What is likely to be in the core? I would like to have plugins in the core or optionally built in and maintained as core plugins specifically these ones.
Adsense for BBPress
Ajaxed Quotes
Akismet
Allow Images
BBClitcha
BBCode Buttons
bbPM
BBVideo
Terms of Service
I would think all of them should be in the core except maybe Adsense for BBPress
I am not a computer guy but if you want a dummy tester I would fit the bill
Hi,
I want to have a link on my WordPress site called ‘Forum’ in the navigation bar. When clicked on all i want is a simple forum like on wordpress.org and similar to this forum here.
How easy / hard is this to do? People have told me its a nightmare to do with bbpress and an existing theme.
Any help would be great,
Thanks
Paul
There won’t be loads, but I’m confident there will be a few. But more importantly there will be documentation on how to adapt existing themes. This is where child themes come in really handy.
WordPress has themes, and bbpress as a pluggin will have themes aswell?
Why not “copy” simple:press “aproach” to this… the forum is displayed on a wordpress page, no fidling with themes, if bbpress was a standalone software like it was untill now its logical to have themes, but in my opinion having themes for a pluggin its to much… my 3 cents anyway…
